Health and Homelessness in Halifax: A report on the health status of Halifax's Homeless Population 2009
The Health and Homelessness survey was conducted between January 13 and January 23, 2009 with the assistance of many community volunteers. Community Action on Homelessness interviewed 158 homeless people in 6 shelters and 4 other locations throughout downtown Halifax about their lives, their health and their access to health care. For the purposes of this survey, homelessness was defined as: having stayed at a shelter; outdoors or in a public space; or with a friend or relative; for 10 or more days in the 90 days prior to being surveyed.
